    re marks/spencer ..what is a gastropub meal?

    They have things like lasagne, chicken and mushroom pies, lamb shanks. prawn rissotto, there was a scallop dish of some sort, spicy meatball dish. The size of the packet is for 2 people and they range in price from about £ 4.99 - £ 9.99. I used two this morning (I put them through as 2 seperate transactions) even the staff said what good value the coupons were.

    I went to buy some at lunchtime and they had sold out of most! Just meals for 1 or starters for 2 left. Will have to try again tomorrow.
